In France, there is an ongoing social, political, and legal debate concerning the wearing of the hijab and other forms of Islamic coverings in public. The cultural framework of the controversy can be traced to France's history of colonization in North Africa, but escalated into a significant public debate in 1989 when three girls were suspended from school for refusing to remove their headscarves. That incident, referred to in France as l'affaire du foulard (the scarf affair) or l'affaire du voile (the veil affair), initially focused the controversy on the wearing of the hijab in French public schools. Because of the wide-ranging social debates caused by the controversy, l'affaire du foulard has been compared to the Dreyfus affair in its impact on French culture.

  • La question du port du voile islamique dans les écoles a suscité d'importants débats en France depuis la fin des années 1980, sous diverses appellations (affaire du voile, du voile islamique, du foulard, etc.). La loi de 2004 sur les signes religieux dans les écoles publiques restreint le port de signes religieux, interdiction rappelée par la charte de la laïcité à l'école en 2013. La controverse s'inscrit dans le cadre plus général des affaires du voile islamique. (fr)
